trip to scotland.....where every thing went wrong :( pt 1

[Rybear]

beginning of July was the only week i could have off so i decided to take  a week  and rent a caravan near fort William and head to  Scotland for some photography......i arrived on the saturday..............just happened to have terrible weather the entire week....the car broke down and just to top it off i came down with covid on the second day there.......luckily i wasn't that bad with it ....after being stuck in the caravan for the only day that had good weather.... i managed to get the car fixed on the Wednesday and then on the Thursday i felt well enough to go for a drive and i wanted to head over to Skye   the weather wasn't too bad and i got a few pics at silgachan   and was really looking forward to seeing the quirang again....got to the quiraing and couldn't see 10 feet in front of the car   then drove to elgol for the first time ....weather when i left broadford was fine but by the time i drove the 15 miles to elgol ......have a guess...................couldn't  see 5 feet in front of the car  ..... i did manage to get a few pics over the week ...but the weather forecast was so bad on the Friday and Saturday that i cut my losses and headed home early

A good set of images. I particularly like the composition of the first and the drama and POV of the third.

Hi Rybear ... what rotten luck you had on your  Scottish adventure ...Glad to hear you didn't get really poorly with Covid   but you must have had my share of rain as we are desperate for some over here in the West Midlands  ... Really like the first  pic ... very dramatic  and typical of your  Portrait type landscapes .. I agree with  Monomania as the second boat image  uses   great foreground perspective to really fill the  frame .. A  very nice set so your holiday wasn't wasted ...Good to see you back and posting

Another great set.

Really like the boat ones, the sort of photo Hazel is keen to take.

Very nice, like the composition on #1 and the misty clouds make it

I never expect too many sunny days in Scotland

sorry to  hear that , but the silver lining to the dark cloud is you managed to get some really nice images!
